Fano:Old hag syndrome? Is that the Asian woman time vertex where they look 18 until 50, then bam, instant Yoda Crone?

Nah. It's more of a traditionally European thang. So it's where they go from this

to this:

So kinda like the Asian thing, just a bit more on the pasty side. Oh, and sitting on your chest while you're trying to sleep, which is what makes it especially terrifying./she shoulda stayed out of the sun

Seems odd that in the last sentence of the article they'd compare penis snatching to a completely unrelated practice like anorexia. The latter is a problem of people physically damaging themselves due to self image problems, more often affecting women. The former involves using occult beliefs to supposedly damage other men - except that casting a magic spell to shrink a man's penis can't do any real physical harm.

I say, make a more accurate comparison to the West. In countries like the USA, there's a practice of only snatching parts of people's penises, causing real physical damage, and the victims are often young enough to be powerless to defend themselves. Instead of having an illicit trade in organs, there's a trade in the skin of these organs - and here it's conducted legally, not on a black market.

Yeah. I figured, why should we care about another culture's imaginary penis problems when we've got real ones?
